Try it yourself! Have some fun at home, cause some trouble in the office... Post your own videos on YouTube and let us know what cool things you do with sticky note waterfalls!

The basic effect is simple: a single zigzag pad of sticky notes (the kind made for pop-up dispensers) can cascade like a waterfall. So how do you make a big waterfall? Check out this video to learn how.

Here are the key ingredients: a bunch of zigzag pads, some tape, and, if you want to be able to use your waterfall over and over again, some glue. Finally, you'll need to use your hands, some boxes, or, as you see in the how-to video, some coffee mugs, to block the sides of the waterfall and keep it flowing smoothly.

The first step is to lay down the first row of pads side by side, with all the zigzags going side to side. Run a strip of tape across the top to attach the pads to each other. If you want, you can then put some glue on top, which will help your waterfall last. Either way, take the bottom off of the next pads so they'll stick when you set them on top of the first row. Again, make sure all the zigzags go side to side so that it'll flow properly.

Lay down more tape, more pads, just as you see in the video. You can make as wide or as tall a waterfall as you'd like. Make sure you flip the whole thing over and also run a strip of tape along the bottom when you're done.

Then you're ready. Waterfalls are happiest falling a relatively short distance (less than a meter) and they need help on the sides to keep the side pads from tipping out. That's where you'll need to put your hands on the sides to help, or put boxes or coffee mugs to keep everything moving nicely.

So make some waterfalls and post your videos on YouTube! Let us know what cool things with sticky notes you can come up with!

EepyBird explores creativity, and the ways ordinary objects can do extraordinary things. Their first video, The Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments, took the idea of dropping Mentos into soda and turned it into one of the best known viral videos of all time. Their viral videos have earned two Emmy nominations, won four Webby Awards, landed them on Vh1's list of greatest Internet superstars, and were voted GoViral's Online Game Changer of the Decade. Altogether, EepyBird's videos have now been seen over 150 million times. In addition to creating viral marketing campaigns for brands like Coca-Cola, OfficeMax, and ABC Family, Grobe and Voltz also give presentations at corporate events on viral video, creativity, and innovation. They have been featured on The Late Show with David Letterman, The Today Show, Ellen, and Mythbusters. EepyBird has performed live in London, Paris, Las Vegas, and Istanbul. They have appeared in videos for Blue Man Group, Barenaked Ladies, and Weezer (the Grammy-winning Pork & Beans). And they have even set several Guinness world records. Most of all, EepyBird spends countless hours exploring how everyday objects can do extraordinary things - and how that can then be turned into successful viral videos.
